By application of force to the spring it beurs upon the valve, sie by .fr Set eerew 3i, the tendency for the thermostat to open the Valve will be retarded with the obvious reeult that 'the Water will be heated to e higher temperature be- 4loro it will be discharged automatically.

Having thus deseribed my invention, l

and desire to Secure by Let- "tere ln'tentzwi. in afdevioe oLt the character set forth,

the combination of e cooler adapted to rememe@ eeii'e Water from a` Water supply, a boiler connected to the upper portion of the cooler and adapted to receive Wate therefrom,v

charge eterilized Waiter from the boiler, a

vulve within theboiler guarding the inlet. Lo seid pipe;y and meuns also Within the boiler Connecting the thermostat to said vulve, substantially as set fortli.

ln a Tater sterilizer, the Combination of u, cooler, e boiler above the same, a neck connecting the boiler and the'cooler through which the Water passes into the boiler, means mrrounding said neek serving to apply heat to .the boiler, e pipe adopted to discharge Writer from the boiler, Seid pipe having its receiving end within and adjacent the upper portion of the boiler and extending thence downwardly through Suid neck und through the Cooler, n valve 'normally holding' Said receiving end of the delivery pipe closed, :L thermostat Within the boiler serving to open seid valve. a spring- :1ct-ing upon said valve resisting the action of the thermostat, and moms controllable from 'the outside of the boiler to vary the force foi' said Spring With-` in the boiler. i

tinioiiy whereof I have signed my is specification in thepresenee of two subscribing witnesses.
